ARTICLE22
ARTICLE22 is a US for-profit social enterprise selling jewelry and home goods handmade by artisans in Laos. Its first collection, PEACEBOMB, is made by Laotian craftspeople using metal scrap and shrapnel left over from the Vietnam War. Each piece supports MAG (Mines Advisory Group) in clearing unexploded ordnance. The brand says that growing sales allow artisans to create new designs, build their businesses and contribute more to clearance work. Founder Elizabeth Suda started the company after meeting villagers in Laos who melted US bombs into spoons. The brand reports customers in over 40 countries. Good On You rates ARTICLE22 Good overall and Great for people. It notes the brand's mission to improve social conditions in Laos, its tracing of most of its supply chain and living wages for final-stage workers. On the environment, Good On You credits its use of upcycled materials and limited production runs. The brand appears to use leather and has no evidence of an animal welfare policy, which gives it an animals score of It's a Start.
